The richest man starts with black technology

Chapter 317: A Major Breakthrough in the Storage of Information by DNA

(Fantasy science fiction, don’t go into it. If I really can, I won’t write novels to develop.)

In addition to the 9-storey core building of the headquarters building, other sporadic buildings are scattered around the lake like the traditional houses of Xia Guo.

This design concept was proposed by Zhou Xiao.

People work eight hours or more in a day, and the working environment is sometimes more important than the living environment.

This phenomenon is especially true in big cities such as Yanjing and Shanghai.

Many white-collar workers in Yanjing have three or four hours of commuting time each day. They get up before dawn and go to work. They go home when it's dark at night and go to sleep when they go home.Home is just a place to sleep.

Working time occupies most of life.

What Zhou Xiao disgusted most was that the employees in the partitioned office were kept there like animals in a cage.

Therefore, many departments of the new headquarters are working in courtyard-like yards, and the beautiful environment also relieves the stress of employees.

The natural environment of the new science and technology area is very good. Zhou Xiao also wants to use the natural environment here instead of artificially filling the lake to cover the vegetation and constructing several towering reinforced concrete buildings.

"In early summer, the major subsidiaries of Origin Group can work here." Zhou Xiao said, leaning on the window.

Mo Li knocked on the door and walked in, looking at the scenery outside the window with ease.

Mo Li said, "The phased experiment has been successful, are you going to check it out?"

Zhou Xiao looked at the progress bar of the task. It has been almost half a year, and there is no change in the progress bar of the task.

The task is too difficult.

In the past six months, Zhou Xiao also loved the laboratory and mastered every step of the laboratory.

His prediction is also in the past few days, the life science laboratory will have breakthrough progress.

"Go and see." Zhou Xiao said.

In the life science laboratory, the technicians are earnestly carrying out the work at hand.

After seeing Zhou Xiao, everyone stopped to say hello to Zhou Xiao.

Zhou Xiao walked into the most central room of the laboratory, where several glass containers filled with crystal balls were placed.

The container is filled with light yellow liquid, which is culture fluid.

Except for the culture medium, there seems to be nothing inside.

But in fact, there is a DNA chain and fragmented bases in the center of each crystal ball. It is just because it is too small, so unless a professional electron microscope is used, it is invisible to the naked eye.

In the past six months, the life sciences and medical laboratories have used Chlorothrix as the mother bacteria, and through continuous cultivation in accordance with Zhou Xiao's design guidelines, new bacteria with fragile cell membranes and cell nucleus walls have been cultivated.

After many generations of cultivation, new colonies were cultivated.

The outer membrane of the cell wall is almost permeable. In this case, the DNA material in the cell can overflow freely.

The laboratory calls this new colony an informative bacteria.

Finally, all the information bacteria DNA material overflows and survives in the macroscopic culture container.

In accordance with the design guidelines, the laboratory extracted DNA material with very high stability.

According to laboratory tests, the life expectancy of stable DNA can be as long as one hundred years under certain culture conditions.

Mo Li said: "The DNA chains of humans and animals are too long and easy to break, and the DNA length of information bacteria is very suitable. It can have a considerable amount of data storage. In theory, 1g of DNA can store 1ZB of information."

"Horrible data!"

Next, the laboratory work is very difficult.

They will use technical means to break up the DNA, leaving DNA strands like dead branches and free base pairs in solution.

So how does DNA store information?

The principle is similar to the binary principle.

As we all know, DNA is composed of four complementary pairs of nitrogenous bases-A, T, C and G. The laboratory separates adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T). Assign binary values ​​(A and C=0, G and T=1),

Then the key point comes!

Subsequently, the gene sequence is synthesized by the microfluidic chip, so that the position of the sequence is matched with the relevant data set.In this way, these base pairs are encoded into a combination of 1 and 0, and the sequence information of DNA can be used to express binary language.

In this way, DNA can store data stably, and DNA can be used for sequencing when reading.

The laboratory has just reached the step of breaking the DNA chain.

The next experiment cannot be completed only by relying on the life science laboratory. The joint laboratory must be activated.

At this time, all the equipment in the joint laboratory has been installed and personnel are also stationed.

Zhou Xiao said to Mo Li, "You have been working hard during this period, and the rest of the experiment is more difficult."

Mo Li looked at the wild flowers just budding outside the window and said, "If all goes well, we will give the world the greatest surprise in the second half of the year!"

Zhou Xiao joked: "I am afraid that many technology companies in South Korea and the United States will be frightened."

The two smiled at each other.

In the afternoon, Wang Yulan called.

"Chen Ye has already collected the information you want. Will we send you to the new technology zone?"

Zhou Xiao thought that after staying in the laboratory for half a year, the whole person would be abandoned, so he said, "I will come to the company."

Wang Yulan complained: "Well, we are waiting for you at the company. I originally wanted to go to the new technology zone for a trip."

Drive to the office location in Jiangcheng University Town.

Thinking that the world's greatest technology company has not moved into its new headquarters yet, and is still renting someone else's house to work, Zhou Xiao laughed.

Tell others about this, I'm afraid they won't believe it.

In the office, Wang Yulan and Chen Ye are both here.

After seeing Zhou Xiao, Chen Ye gave Zhou Xiao a bitter expression and said, "You are still willing to come to the company to have a look!"

Chen Ye felt that the last time she was from Zhou Xiao was the Chinese New Year the year before, and had dinner with Zhou Xiao's parents.

It's been two years in a blink of an eye, and she and Zhou Xiao have made no progress at all.

Both people are busy with work and even spend very little time together.

Chen Ye even discussed a question with Wang Yulan more than once-is Zhou Xiao a monk?Is Zhou Xiao a man?And whether Zhou Xiao is physically ill does not work.

It stands to reason that food and sex are also good. Many bosses of big companies have one, two, three, or four women. Even if they are married, I have women out there.

Zhou Xiao is fine.

There is no woman outside to say nothing, nor is there a woman in the house.

What is wrong with such a man?

Chen Ye handed Zhou Xiao the collected reports of car companies on the market, and said: "Look at it first, the auto industry in the market is very competitive now, let alone domestically produced cars, many joint venture car companies are about to go bankrupt."
